Heartwarming Moment

The girls were so tired last night! Except for feeding I left them alone for the evening -they had five separate visitors yesterday over the course of the afternoon! Not only were they pooped out, they were full. :-) They did great with everyone, accepted treats and petting, but by the end of the day just wanted to hang out more than anything. This morning I had a very heartwarming experience. After the puppies finished eating their breakfast, they came over to me to say an official morning hello. For the first time I was able to bend over and pet Natasha, like I would do with any other puppy or dog. Then I squated down and Natasha, Nina and Nora jumped all over me and accepted some petting. Nevada came over to sniff me and say hello too, although I didn't try to reach out to her. This was all without treats. It was so touching to be able to interact with them this way, it makes all this "work" so worthwhile.

Humane Society of NE Iowa

This blog was set up on January 29, 2012 when 4 feral puppies were turned in to our organization. These 4 beautiful puppies have had no human contact the first 9 weeks of their life (except for people trying to catch them), and it is our goal to work with these puppies so that one day they may be adopted out to loving homes. This blog is a day to day account of their journey.
The Humane Society of NE Iowa is a non-profit no kill rescue organization located Northeast Iowa. We serve a 5 county area and currently are a foster-based organization, although our new shelter is in the works! For more information about our organization please visit our website at www.hsnei.org
